Gu Liwei is a very excellent administrative secretary. She has prepared all the materials needed for each meeting very well. Chen Chong tried to be concise and to improve the efficiency of the meeting. However, there are too many things to arrange. After the three meetings, the clock has reached twelve o'clock noon.

As soon as Qiu Liben and others left, Qiu Siyu came over. She knocked on the door of the conference room and reminded: "Mr. Chen, you will have lunch with Mr. Shen Bi at half past twelve."

"I got it." Chen Chong stood up, put on his suit jacket quickly, and said, "Xiaoyu, go find a good-looking box and put a hollow craft gold watch I brought back from Beijing during the Spring Festival. I will give it to Chen Bi as a gift."

"OK."

The place where Chen Bi treats guests to dinner is nothing new, and it is the golf club in Deep Water Bay. He and Li Ka-shing jointly recommended it. Only when Chen Chong, who was a fledgling cottage, could he become a member of this club. Choosing this place to eat is probably to remind Chen Chong that his development was entirely due to the support of HSBC.

"Allen."

“Long time no see Nh1.”

As soon as they met, the two shook hands very enthusiastically, as if they were old friends without any grudges. After the greetings, Chen Bi pointed to a middle-aged man in a suit and tie next to him and introduced: "Alan, this is the chairman of Jianing Group, Chen Songqing, a Hong Kong business genius who is as famous as you."

Chen Chong's heart thumped, but he was calm on the surface. He took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Songqing and said repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, I have long admired Daming and Daming for a long time. You have seized food from the tiger's mouth. I bought Kinmen Building from Land Group, setting a precedent for purchasing the entire commercial building in Hong Kong. It is a masterpiece. It not only expanded Jianing's assets, but also established Jianing's fame. I admire it very much."

"Where is, compared with Mr. Shen's heroic spirit of spending a lot of money in the United States, what is my small-scale fight?"

The three of them sat down and ordered the food. Chen Chong took out the box containing the gold watch, pushed it to Chen Bi, and said, "Nh1 I know you like watches, so I give it to you. This is specially bought when I went to Beijing last time. It was made of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Although it is not as precise and punctual as Swiss watches, it is very unique."

Chen Bi loves watches, which is well known to Hong Kong people. It is said that he has collected hundreds of famous watches worth tens of millions. He opened the box and admired it for a while before he reluctantly closed the lid and said, "It's very beautiful. I like it, thank you."

After giving the gift, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Chen Songqing was also a handsome and good-looking person. The three of them had their own ulterior motives and talked about boring social topics. They looked harmonious and happy.

After the food was delivered, Chen Bi picked up the glass containing red wine and said to Chen Chong: "Come on, let us pay tribute to the most profitable genius in human history with this glass of red wine."

"Mr. Chen, I won't be long before you can see you. You will become the legitimate richest man in the world. Come on, I respect you."

"Nh1 You're saying too exaggeratedly, Mr. Chen, are you bragging me?" Chen Chong smiled and touched the two of them, took a sip of wine, put down the glass, and asked inadvertently: "Mr. Chen, have you purchased the Kinmen Building at a price of UR 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Are you planning to hold it for a long time, mainly for rent collection, or are you planning to resell it in layers to make quick money?"

"Why, Mr. Chen is interested in buying a new office building?" Chen Songqing avoided answering and said with a smile: "Is the Oriental Charming Building, which is known as the best office environment in Asia, is no longer enough?"

"I'm just curious, just ask." Chen Chong laughed and said, "The Hong Kong real estate market is very prosperous now. As one of the landmarks in Hong Kong, I think there is still room for further appreciation.

"I'm also very curious," Chen Songqing cut the steak and asked, "Everyone says that Mr. Chen is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, with a very accurate vision. I have read a lot of your reports, such as making toys, movies, high-tech, stocks, and futures, but it seems that I have never done a real estate business. I thought Mr. Chen was not optimistic about the real estate market in Hong Kong, but after hearing what he said just now, it was not the case. So Mr. Chen, why don't you do real estate? Hong Kong has few land and many people, and everyone knows that real estate profits are very high."

"It's very simple, because 1997 is coming soon." Chen Chong wanted pasta. He picked noodles with a fork and said slowly: "Before the problem of 1997, Hong Kong's real estate market was a mirage, and there were great risks. People would not pay for houses with only 17 years of ownership."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them tightened their expressions, Chen Bi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately asked: "Allen, have you got new insider information from Beijing?"

"No." Shen Chongya denies, spread his hands and said, "I just came back from the United States last night. You know, there is no cross-border phone call in the mainland."

Chen Songqing breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Bi stared at him and said, "Allen, you have to know that before the phone was invented, humans had learned to communicate long distances. You ordered three Boeing 74s for the Mainland in the United States. Don't tell me that it was done without contacting the mainland's top leaders."

"I only contacted some civil aviation officials, but they are very disciplined and rarely talk about things outside the business with outsiders." Chen Chong said without saying a trace of his mouth, "I really know nothing about how the mainland handles the 1997 issue. If I knew, I wouldn't sit here and drink and chat with you. Either go buy real estate or stay in the United States and don't come back. You know, I'm very popular in the United States, and they are looking forward to my naturalization."

After hearing this, Chen Bi relaxed his expression. He smiled and complained in a tone of no slightness and no seriousness: "Allen, there is a saying in China that you are a Chinese saying that it is better to be familiar than to be accustomed to. HSBC is your old friend. You are investing heavily in the United States this time, but you don't choose us to operate. It hurts too much. You know, we just acquired Ocean Milan Bank in New York, and urgently need to expand our influence in the United States. Ocean Milan Bank is the largest bank in New York State, and with HSBC providing technical support, it can help you complete your investment.

"Nh1, I had no choice but to do this." Chen Chong put down his fork and said half-truely: "Now that Japanese goods are popular in the United States, leading to large-scale bankruptcy of local manufacturers and high unemployment rates. People are very resistant to overseas businessmen like me who make a lot of money. When I was in Seattle, someone told me that there were members of Congress that would impose heavy taxes on overseas investors and restrict investment fields. In order to avoid such a bad thing, I had to publicly state in the newspaper that in addition to private consumption, public welfare and charitable expenses, all the money earned in the United States will be consumed locally in the United States, contributing to stimulating the recovery of the United States. To prove that I am confident, I had to hand over the investment to Goldman Sachs. You know, Goldman Sachs is very influential in the Federal Reserve and the National Economic Commission and can help lobby Congress."

"Americans are becoming more and more conservative, and have lost the confidence of the world overlord in the 1950s." Chen Bi shook his head and said empathetically: "Allen, I understand your situation. When we acquired Marine Milan Bank, we also suffered great resistance and were repeatedly troubled by the New York State Banking Regulatory Agency. It took three years to acquire 4 shares from 1977 to now. It is nowhere near the full acquisition."

After he sighed, he asked again: "But Alan, where are your affairs in Asia?"

"As you said just now, it is better to be familiar with it than to be a brute. My business in Asia will definitely be handed over to HSBC." Chen Chong picked up the wine glass and greeted him with a smile. After drinking the red wine, he said: "Is Nh1 HSBC interested in the aircraft rental business? I plan to mortgage or resell the three Boeing 747 aircraft contracts in my hand."

"Alan." Chen Bi said with a surprise look on his face and said loudly: "If you transfer this contract to HSBC, you will be HSBC's eternal friend."

Hong Kong people call the chairman of the board of directors of foreign banks the "big class". Chen Bi is one of the best majors in HSBC's history, known as the "big class king". After taking over HSBC in 1977, he opposed the opposition and alienated British groups such as Jardine Mahjong and Hui Defeng, and vigorously supported Chinese capital. Li Ka-shing acquired Hutchison Whampoa and Bao Yugang swallowed Hutchison Whampoa. He was the one behind the scenes, and this effort was not in vain. After Hutchison Whampoa changed hands, it developed rapidly, which also brought HSBC a lot of wealth.

On the one hand, he supported Chinese capital, and on the other hand, he spent US$310 million to invest in Ocean Milan Bank, setting foot in the US financial market, one China and one America, seized the two locomotives of world economic development in the next 30 years, laying the foundation for HSBC to become the world's three largest banking groups.

This person has a very strategic vision and can see the value of the aircraft leasing contract in Chen Chong's hand. Financial leasing is a type of financial services, and aircraft leasing is a high-end service, which can reach the top leaders of the mainland. Therefore, it is not three aircraft, it is a key to entering the mainland financial market.

Therefore, he couldn't help but be excited...

"Nh" Chen Chong glanced at Chen Songqing who was listening attentively, and said, "There are delicious food and wine here, the blue sky and sunny, it's too boring to talk about business. Why don't we talk about it again in another time?"

"No problem, no problem, Allen, you can call me at any time." Chen Bi became sincere and enthusiastic and said, "I know CaIu bought a house in Baijiadao. You must live with her. It is very close to my house. Why don't you come to my house to talk? I have collected a lot of good Scotch whiskeys.

"Okay, no problem. I'll call you before I go."

"OK, that's a decisive statement."

At this time, Chen Songqing interjected with a smile and asked, "Who is CaIu? Mr. Chen's confidante?

Everyone speaks English. Chen Songqing used "close female friends" to refer to "confidant", which was obviously a joke. However, Chen Bi didn't know, and he said, "Oh, no, it's not a friend, that's Allen's lover."

Chen Songqing's eyes flashed and he said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen would also hide his charm in the golden house and have a beautiful woman, who is hugging her from both sides. It's really enviable."

"Isn't a romantic young man?" Chen Chong smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Many people know that I have two girlfriends."

"Oh?" Chen Songqing said with a look of surprise: "The media is very developed now and is omnipresent. Mr. Chen is in the limelight and has attracted much attention. I have never seen rumors in the newspaper. It's really unbelievable.
